Even if its Over-wolf or something that isn't listed as a 3rd party software. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't use any other programs while playing League, but you should not use any thing that effects League in anyway from the client, to the ui, to the actual game. Riot's automated system seems to be hypersensitive at the moment with all these players being falsely banned.
Deep Terror Nami5 votesIt's extremely rare for a false flag in the system to be overlooked and result in a legal program resulting in bans; every single ban wave (which can hit tens of thousands at once) tons of people will not understand the ban, so they band together and name off random programs they believe triggered it and latch onto something somewhat common between them. However, not only does that method of determining the false flag not hold any water, there are cheaters out there intentionally trying to cast doubt on the system and get out of bans they know they deserved.
Most of the time someone is banned for cheating and they know they didn't do so, it's because their account or computer was compromised and someone else had been using the program on their account or had it in their client. This includes playing on public computers where the player cannot control what's on the client.
If any player believes their ban to be an error, they should submit a ticket so player support can verify the ban. If they think or know their account was used by someone else at any point they should absolutely inform player support of the time frame for this.

this is PRECISELY why riot should only ban people if the software is actively being used.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesGreat concept, but who's to say they are always capable of determining whether it's in use or not? Don't download hacks, keep your login info safe, and be aware of the risks of logging into strange computers or sharing yours with others.

not everyone has that luxury. parents often make their kids share computers. and people play on public computers. if they are going to use the public computer excuse for not IP banning people, they shouldnt have a double standard

But if that's the case the Parents should know what is on the computer. it sucks but more often than not if that is the case either that kid should be saving up money to get a cheap laptop/computer, or just not play if anyone in their family can just download anything. I mean that's just incompetence right there.
But back on topic people just need to know what they are downloading. If something is too good to be true it probably is. Nothing programs wise can help you be better at the game unless its downright cheating. I have only ever used 2 3rd party programs. One was for changing the voice files, but i stopped using that, and the one i currently use now is Razer Cortex (or what ever its called) mainly to get zSilver to use for Razer products.
But I know what these products does, and if i do get ban im sure writing to Riot and explaining the situation would get my account back if worse comes to worse. But i have nothing to worry about because i am the only one who uses my computer, and i know what is on it!
